Just for Fun...

... while waiting for the mailman, I got out some 6 X 6 scrap booking papers.


 I selected 4 colorful prints.


I cut the pieces to make a paper quilt block.


Today's block for "My Favorite Block Quilt Along" is a Scrappy Churn Dash Block.  I cut my pieces (minus the seam allowances), so that I would have a 6 inch block for the front of my quilt binder.



You may have noticed that I picked a 5th print as I needed another color for the scrappy look!


I printed the title for the top of the page



and the logo button for the bottom right part of the page.

Each time there is a new block, I print the instructions --- usually in a draft print (uses less ink).  Then I three hole punch and add them to the binder.


I also printed the photo of my fabrics in draft from my blog --- just for the memory when I look back at this binder years from now.


 The cover for my quilt binder is complete and it took only a few minutes to make it and keep it all organized. It actually took longer to write this post, but you know me --- I like to share.  My husband says, when I like something and I think it is really cool, I have to share it with everyone. He says I am like a walking commercial for everything I like!


If you are doing the My Favorite Block Quilt Along, please do not think you need a binder, just because I have one.  But it does keep me organized.  I need to have a place to put the instructions or I will loose them!

Just for fun!
